What goes wrong
An empty rack at six is the Mortlake complaint you hear about
Clubs in Mortlake rarely leave a supplier over price. They leave after a run of evenings where the rack was empty at peak, or a batch came back smelling of damp.
-
Running out at the evening peak
Towel demand stacks into roughly two hours rather than spreading across opening. A par count set on a daily average leaves the Mortlake rack empty exactly when the floor is busiest.
-
Towels that come back smelling
A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use. Oil left in the fibre only announces itself once the towel warms up, which is after it has reached a member.
-
Stock that never quite balances
Towels walk. Every Mortlake club loses some, and an account that does not plan for shrinkage turns into a monthly argument about counts.
How it works
Four steps, and the Mortlake rack stops being your problem
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the peak-hour count right and the towel rack stops being something the duty manager thinks about.
-
The count
We count against your peak rather than your average — a Monday evening and a Sunday morning in Mortlake are different businesses, and the par level has to survive both.
An hour, at peak
-
The round
SW14 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before the evening rush rather than during it.

The switch
You are never between suppliers, and no evening is covered by rationing towels.
No gap in service
-
The account
One name, who has seen your floor at peak. Changes get made on a call rather than logged as a ticket.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one club around Richmond upon Thames? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Mortlake towels are not subcontracted
There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Mortlake collections run 6.5 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Gym towelling is its own classification. Sweat and body oil need a different wash to bed linen or table linen — get it wrong and the towel smells clean until it warms up.

Switching supplier in Mortlake without an empty rack
Most Mortlake clubs stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like a risk in the week membership is highest. It is not.
- Before you commit
We count your peak, not your average
We count the Mortlake floor between five and seven rather than take a number off your last invoice — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
You are never between suppliers. New stock is on the shelf before the last collection of the old contract.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
First counts are an estimate. After four weeks we set them against what you actually used, including what walked out of the door.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
Running a busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.
Liam Gallagher Operations & Pub Manager · Gastro pub with rooms -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.

The area
Mortlake — what the round has to work around
A historic riverside district famous for its brewery heritage and as the finish of the Boat Race. Unique to Mortlake.
Clubs here sit on the SW14 round, and the hour that matters is the evening peak rather than the morning — Mortlake is close enough that a disrupted run is a second trip that day.

Mortlake questions, answered
Do you cover Mortlake?
Yes — Mortlake sits on the SW14 round, 7 days, 6.5 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with East Sheen, Barnes and Roehampton — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
- The driver knows the streets around Barnes, Mortlake and Barnes Bridge — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your service entrance.
- A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because of that distance.
- 29 clubs and spas around SW14 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.
What stops gym towels smelling?
Because the wash was wrong, not because the towel is finished. Cold it is fine; warm and damp it is not, and that is after it has reached a member.
- Gym towelling runs on its own classification — Mortlake towels are classified for the soil they actually carry.
- Oil needs a different temperature from sweat — one general cycle addresses neither properly.
- Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — that is a wash problem, not a replacement problem.
- Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.
Who pays for towels that walk?
Every Mortlake club loses towels, and an account that pretends otherwise turns into a monthly argument about counts.
- Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — rather than discovered in month three.
- You get the actual numbers each cycle — not a statement that only makes sense to us.
- A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — and we would rather flag it than absorb it quietly.
- On hire, fair wear is our cost — greying and thinning are ours to replace.
Do you quote, or work off a tariff?
It is quoted, not tariffed. Towel volume depends on member numbers and how hard the floor turns over, so a published list would be wrong for most clubs.
- We count a real week in Mortlake before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
- The count includes January — which is the one spike everybody knows is coming and most quotes ignore.
- No minimum order — a small Mortlake studio pays the same per towel as a club ten times the size.
- The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.
Do you count against our busiest hour?
By counting against your peak rather than your daily average. Every other hour looks fine on any count, which is why averages keep passing and racks keep emptying.
- We count on site at the time it matters — an hour on the Mortlake floor at peak tells us more than a year of delivery notes.
- A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — and a single number that averages them fails on the busier one.
- January is planned in — a Mortlake club in January is not the same club in August, and the account should say so.
- If you run short twice, the count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, not bad luck.
Do you hire towels, or only launder ours in Mortlake?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.
- Hire — we own the stock, replace what wears out and carry the cost of a towel that greys in month two.
- Wash-only — your own branded stock comes back to you, the same items, not pooled.
- Most clubs split it — hire what nobody looks at, keep your own name on what a member wears.
- You can move a line between the two later — without reopening the account.
Are robes done differently from gym towels?
Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs on the same account. A gym floor wants volume and absorbency; a spa wants handle and appearance.
- Robes are laundered to keep their handle — softness is the point on a robe, and it is achieved by the wash rather than by softener.
- Bath mats run on a heavier classification — because wet-area linen takes a different kind of soil.
- One collection, one invoice — the split is in the classification, not in the account.
- Hotel spas are a normal account — the bed linen side can go on the same round.
Can we leave if it is not working?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. The account should hold because it works, not because leaving is expensive.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — Mortlake in January and Mortlake in August are different clubs, and the account should say so.
- Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your peak while you are still under someone else.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
- If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.
Something specific to your Mortlake club?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Mortlake does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of gym towelling is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- The SW14 round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to Mortlake.
- Keeping the fibre clear is what stops stock being replaced before its time.
- Hire stock is rotated through its full life rather than binned when it greys.
- More than 80% of the fleet running into Richmond upon Thames is fully electric.
